My Story

I am a survivor! I am a luminous light being who emanates love, joy, peace, and the Presence of God. I love my life, my people, and what I do! But it has not always been this way.

I possess extraordinary wisdom – not because I am anyone special but because I've experienced so much of the dark side of humanity - childhood sexual abuse, rejection, adolescent rape, unwed pregnancy, drug addiction, near-death experience, marital infidelity, domestic violence, divorce, depression, PTSD, suicidal ideation, bankruptcy – and overcame. 

I am grateful I did not perish in the darkness. Instead, I acknowledged my poor choices by God's grace and learned how to live joyfully and freely. Still, I did not come out of my experiences unscathed. Wisdom required me to apply the lessons I learned in the darkness to walk in the light.

I soon learned that transformation is a lifelong process. Even though I knew I had much to contribute to others and was good at what I did, I battled with shame, destructive habits, patterns, and self-limiting beliefs. After developing a practice of holding back and playing small, I merely dabbled in many things! When I chose to show up, I felt like I was too much and would pull back.

Although I continued to add value to as many lives as possible, I often heard the word imposter whispered in my head - long before I became acquainted with the term imposter syndrome. I was invisible and would never be enough. While others applauded and praised me, I listened as though they spoke of someone I did not know. A voice within taunted me: “What do you have to say that anyone wants to hear? What makes you an expert?” I silenced my authentic voice while speaking. 

Thankfully, today, I enjoy the joyful freedom of embracing the real me. My spiritual DNA was already perfect, but I needed to explore it and grow awareness to reach the next level of greatness. That doesn’t mean the voice of the old story is silent, but I’ve developed a stronger voice to counter it. I am determined to persist until I succeed. 

Still, I regret the years I wasted neither showing up as my most radiant self nor releasing the blessings I was to give. Now, I am determined to pour out everything within me while I still breathe.

Perhaps you resonate with my story. Like me, you've believed the lies that you are not enough, you're invisible, you're alone. You may feel unlovable or unworthy to be loved or appreciated. The pain of imposter syndrome exponentially increases with degrees of success in public. You fear exposure. I feel your pain!

Transformation is an inside job that takes time and requires a change of identity. But if you want to change badly enough, you can. You can free yourself of those emotional shackles that prevent you from showing up without apology or compromise. It’s possible to awaken to the bigger story of who you are and why you are here. Will you take a stand for your deepest yearnings and highest potential, even if you don't know how?
